360 runs great one day and then poorly the next
Hopefully someone out there can point me in the right direction. My brother-in-law has a 360 with a fresh rebuilt Thermoquad and having running issues.
New engine compartment wiring, good coil, ballast resistor and electronic ignition module, new distributor and fuel pump. There’s no intake leakage and fresh fuel in the tank. Even swapped the TQ with a new Edelbrock with same results.
It didn’t matter with air cleaner on or off before. Started it today with air cleaner off and began to ran…
SB shaft mounted spring compressors
Has anyone has success in using this compressor from COMP Cams 5323 Shaft Mount Valve Spring Compressor?
I have CompCam 901-16 springs installed on my 340 J heads with 2.02’s. I need to replace the seals with heads installed.
Is there a better tool out there that anyone might have experience with?

Rings for KB pistons 4.080

Can’t get power brakes to work
Equipped with factory front disc and 10 inch rears all pads/rotors and shoes/drums replaced. I’ve replaced the booster (Midland-Ross) and check valve and still have no power braking action. When this car was new, they worked beautifully. Vacuum is at 18-20 and rear brakes adjusted. Any hints would be helpful.
Fuel sending units
Does anyone know if the the part number 2421493 is interchangeable with the 3621615? The 73 Duster calls for the 3621615 and I have a 2421493 that I want to use. Any input would be very helpful. Pic is of the 242 one.
